FINAL DEFEAT CAN INSPIRE US, SAYS LEE

GRAEME Lee says Spennymoor Town’s FA Trophy final defeat has only added to his desire to take the National League North club to greater heights.

After embarking on an impressive run of form during the second half of the season, Lee’s Moors missed out on a place in the play-off spots by just one point.

Their historic FA Trophy run provided a welcome distraction from their league campaign with Lee’s men seeing off the likes of Sutton United, Boston United and Rochdale to secure only the second visit to Wembley in the Moors history.

Sunday’s final proved to be a step too far for the Moors — but the experience has whet Lee’s appetite as his side look to secure a historic promotion into Step 1 when the new season gets underway in August.
